Despite a disheartening 3-1 loss away at Coventry City over the weekend, the Foxes are now leading England’s second division with 65 points from 27 games played, seven points ahead of second-place Ipswich Town.
However, Leicester’s meeting against the Tractor Boys on Monday is going to be crucial for the title battle as well as Southampton and Leeds United, who are also currently pressing for a victory over Ipswich.
The previous Premier League winners are attempting to surpass Reading’s nearly eighteen-year-old record of 105 Championship points. With Enzo Maresca’s team aiming for 110 points, there isn’t much room for mistake if Leicester City wants to surpass the remarkable accomplishment of the Royals.
Still, the loss of a few important players for the Foxes will make this mountain even steeper. Journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed that Tottenham Hotspur is interested in 22-year-old midfielder Kasey McAteer in the Premier League as Ange Postecoglou wants to reinforce his assault before the January transfer window ends.
